Author Khaled Hosseinni has chosen the most significant event to take place in his novel as the cover for The Kite Runner. From this picture, the reader can see that Amir is watching something that is happening around a corner. The reader does not know what it is. In actual fact Amir sees that his best friend Hassan is being raped by a bully and he does not intervene. This is a pivotal event that shapes the outcome of the novel and impacts the relationship between these two best friends. One wonders what would have happened if he summed up the courage to stand up for Hassan? Guilt and self- hatred develop and true happiness seems to evade him.
